Dear Jesus, thank you so much that you rose from the dead.  Thank you that you have made a way for us to have victory in life because you are alive.  Help us to understand this in a new way today.  Help us begin to live this out in a new way.  In your name, Amen.

Dear Lord, thank you for going to the cross for us.  Help me, Lord, to understand how much you truly love me and that you went down that very dark and lonely path so I could truly know your love.  Thank you, Lord, for inspiring me again this season to serve and love you more deeply than ever before. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Dear Lord, thank you for the power of your love, more powerful than the mightiest river on earth.  Thank you, Jesus, that we can take all our hurts, sorrow, and pain to you, and you will cleanse us and lead us to the true path of healing and life itself!  In Jesus’ name, I pray, Amen.

This is the future of Lutheran Indian Ministries: Proclaim. Heal. Disciple. It is through men like Joseph, counseled and discipled Christ-followers, and people like you with a passion for Native Ministry that we will continue to make an impact in God's Kingdom.

 Dear Father in Heaven, regardless of our ethnic backgrounds or culture, may we joyfully draw our hearts to the One who came to save us this Christmas Eve. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

  Dear Lord, Thank you so much for revealing Your love for us, and Your plan for us, in a way that we can understand no matter what tribe and people group we are from. Your ways are so amazing, as is the Christmas story every time we hear it, especially in our own language, Amen.

 Dear Heavenly Father, thank you that You came into this world as a baby to save us from our sins. Help us to understand and reflect on Your birth during this Christmas season. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.

 Dear Heavenly Father, thank you for life, and for letting us live in this earthly world. I pray for all the people who are suffering from all ailments. I ask that You would bless them just as Jesus said, Amen.

 Dear Lord, we thank you again for the great gift of Your Son, Jesus, and that You have given us the thrill of following Him. Please give us faith to step out in new ways this season as we desire to follow the star You have set before each of us! In Jesus’ name we pray, Amen.

The Good News of Freedom! - Matthew 28:7 (NIV)

“Then go quickly and tell his disciples: ‘He has risen from the dead’ . . . “

“I was like a ball of twine, all wound up to the point of physical pain.  I had so many emotional secrets I hid behind the mask that everything was ok … but through (teaching and group work), the ball has started to unravel to God’s freedom”.  Another person said, “I could literally hear the chains pop” in explaining her inner sense of freedom.
